i saw you mentioned that killua has an addictive personality. would u write more on that topic? i agree with you but i dont know how to articulate it for myself hah
I could point to the obvious thing, the chocrobos and sweets in general. Sugar is addictive in real life but like which all such substances some are more vulnerable to them than others. And Killua seems to have developed a chocolate habit.
But I think his tendency towards gambling is far more telling.
Killua loves rivalry, he loves competitions and he will try to gamify stuff he does with Gon. But at least in their competitions with each other Gon can work as a safety valve because he's also obsessive and self destructive and Killua's care for Gon would curb his risk addiction. That and the fact that with Gon they get into really life threatening situations and the self-preservation Killua's family forced into him, kicks in too.
But when the stakes are not life threatening, when it's money... Killua can't handle money. He loses all of their Heaven's Arena winnings on internet auctions. Then Bisky has to drag him away from the slot machines in Greed Island.
When there's no threat to his or Gon's safety, Killua has absolutely no breaks and because Gon leans on him for the planning and for knowledge about the world, considering Gon's much more sheltered childhood, Killua's on his own to control himself and he absolutely can't.
Maybe needing to provide for Alluka will also work as a decent safety valve for the gambling. Maybe he will be more careful with the money he needs for her.
But I don't think he sees that he has this problem. He's always been rich and capable to make quick and easy money. He's also capable of roughing it for a while, and Gon was too. But I doubt he'd want to put Alluka in that situation. Maybe being with her will make him realise he needs to work on this.
#hxh#hunter x hunter#killua zoldyck#answering asks#thank you for the ask <3#i haven't been writing about hxh much recently#it's interesting to do#sorry it took me so long#i've been really having a horrible time for the last few months#and there seems to be no end in sight#it's kinda getting progressively worse and more depressing#i'll get to all the asks#my brain just barely works from stress most of the time and i can barely sleep which makes it much worse

↠ Tim & Lucy ↳ 2x01 - Impact
#chenford#chenfordedit#the rookie#therookieedit#tim x lucy#tim and lucy#lucy x tim#jesuis-assez edits: chenford#jesuis-assez edits: chenford scenes 2x01#🤣Love it. Look at him staring her down.#Sir... That's your future wife.#2x01 hits different now that we have some more insight into Tim's past.#To see him so pressed here because she didn't report him.#He's seeing himself in her choice to not report him. His past self.#He's got the emotional walls back up and she's only going to tear them down again.#Darting his eyes back and forth with hers and that .. JAW CLENCH 💖I love those jaw clenches. Is this affecting you Tim? 🤭#In more ways than one. Her being kind to him in light of him knowing this#Catapulting his mind back to the person 'he used to be' and how hard he has tried to shake that choice he made all those years ago.#How hard he has tried to redeem all of that for it to come crashing back in the form of his rookie who was trying to protect him.#Because she's supposed to be different from him. She's supposed to be better. And he's mad at her for making the same choice.#But he's also mad at himself. Because he's supposed to be better and he's supposed to be different now.#Even though he isn't all that different. He was falsifying reports to protect Isabel.#He's supposed to be training her to be better and she made the same choice he made.#So his course of action is to rev up the training some more. Maybe he was too soft and lenient with her towards the end of s1#and he lost sight of his training methods and how rules matter.#but he also lowered his walls and was vulnerable with her. He let her in.#And he's going to keep letting her in despite how much he tries to resist.#with every act of kindness she shows him... the walls break down and soften a little#until all that remains is Tim's unwavering tenderness for Lucy.#that only seems to grow more in her presence and influence.

The real mastermind, the unpredictable subordinate, and the 'spies'
My fanarts of the new casts in Touhou 19!
Overall, I do enjoy the game! Really adore all of the new casts, the new music are cool and the story is interesting! Really nice to see more of the old casts come back in here too!
#fanart#touhou#touhou project#touhou 19#unfinished dream of all living ghost#zanmu nippaku#hisami yomotsu#son biten#enoko mitsugashira#chiyari tenkajin#more talk in the tag!#Biten and Enoko's design really strike me at the first sight. XD Cute monke!! Very cool traps!!! I do like the other three too~.#Still love the title theme a lot. <3#the more i keep listen to the new themes - the more i grow up to love them even more especially zanmu's and hisami's one.#Gameplay wise - still don't have a strong opinion here... but I do appreciate how the game seem to give more chance for clearing story mode#No penalty if you can't 1cc ; still reach the character's ending and be able to unlock the next one.#(not very sure if the continue number is limited or not tho...)#yamanoart

Watching Wayward Pines for potential ST5 inspo bc the Duffers wrote a couple episodes in s1, and when I got to their second (last) episode and their name crossed the screen, I noticed a visual parallel that might already exist on the show…
Recognize it??
It instantly reminded me of that last shot for the opening of s3, with the landscape peaking out behind the Russian base. But when I went back and actually compared the two, holy shit it’s near identical, and not just the landscape.
I didn’t even remember the helicopter being there on the left, not to mention the pillar-esaue contraption at the center. Like… they’re the same picture.!
With them being credited right at that moment, it’s obvious this was an intentional nod to their previous work.
I just thought it was cool so I wanted to share, but in terms of my watch overall, there is a LOT going on that they could pull from. I’m only halfway through s1, though I’ve heard the show goes downhill in s2 so we’ll see how that goes 😂
#byler#stranger things#wayward pines#st inspo#st5 predictions#spoilers I guess?#matt dillon is a secret service agent and when fellow agents go missing#he goes to find them and ends up in an accident himself#and wakes up in wayward pines#and no matter what he does he can’t reach anyone on the outside nor leave#people around him seem to be playing along with this sort of Truman show lifestyle of pretending everything is fine#then he runs into one of the agents who went missing also his ex-mistres#carla gugino my beloved#and she’s also playing along#bc they kind of have to otherwise they will be killed#little does Matt Dillon know his wife and kid on the outside are worried because he went missing#they go looking for him and end up in wayward pines too#wayward pines is actually really chill in retrospect bc you get a free house when you arrive#but the whole being trapped and not explained what’s going on and treated like your crazy part makes it hard to see the positives#and just when you think this whole town is an experiment#it is!!#but also not because they have any other choice really#turns out humans devolved into this creature referred to as abbies and they basically take over the world killing everything in sight#a scientist predicted this and managed to launch an experiment where he basically kidnapped a bunch of people and froze them from aging#to live safely in the future over 2000 years later in this confined town#where very few know the truth#the town being an experiment aspect intrigues me in terms of all the surveillance in Hawkins…#also random but the main kid on the show has an uncanny resemblance to the duffers despite no relation and it’s freaky 😂

So, I’ve started writing a small oneshot for the Slime Rancher AU, and I may or may not have stayed up all night working on it.
The angst potential of Vio passing out in the desert and the others having to come rescue him was just too tempting to pass up.
I’m not sure how happy I am with it, but I sure did spend several hours working on it, so once I edit it I’ll try to post it and see how that goes.
It bounces between playful and serious a handful times, so I need to iron that out so it’s a little less of a tonal whiplash. Not sure how successful I’ll be in that, but I’ll do my best!
I don’t know how canon I want to say it is, but some elements do carry over I suppose. Fanfics make me nervous since they lock character traits in pretty obviously. I guess I’m just worried y’all won’t like how I write the characters in the au vs how they can be interpreted through drawings.
I’m also sleep deprived, so I’m gonna go pass out for two hours before work.
There’s a snippet of it below the cut if anyone’s interested.
#it gets kinda heavy towards the end#not sure it fits the tone of the au as a whole#i want these guys to be chill#but at the same time#shutting down at the sight of a loved ones potentially dead body#seems like the appropriate reaction?#i wouldn’t know though#hasn’t happened to me before#it’s shadow that breaks down#and red but we aren’t really in his pov#and it’s red#at least that feels in character#rambling#shadow link#green link#blue link#green x blue x red x vio x shadow#slime rancher au#fanfic wip

btw if you know good ways to deal with an achey heart (this is not a physical condition btw I just happen to be in love for the second time in my life and it is awful) I would also appreciate practical wisdom!!!
#ladiessss this is simply.............. not it!!!!!!#i have done my bit of weeping and wailing in this vale of tears and i cannot do it any longer :))))) there is TOO much going on#for me to drown in this ish. especially since ** ***** ******* **** and **** ***** **** **#i am seeking the good of the other i am doing my best not to be self absorbed and sentimental and too transparent#however it is a hard time over here especially with everything else going on#i don't usually get so sad that my chest physically hurts but this is where we're at right now!!!#once again asking for help and prayer#it was fine (...ish) in september but i'm unfortunately down REAL bad and there is no end in sight only horrid things one after another#also i am so sorry that all i seem to post is miserable stuff whenever im here it seems like all i do is complain these days while posting#there IS so much to be grateful for and i often forget that in the wake of Tragic Things there is STILL hope and joy and goodness#the waiting room chapter

this evening we are pondering how and if there is any gay shit to be found between the inter-to-intratextual layers of beowulf
#prompted by one post I have only unkind things to say about#like Yes this text is about monstrosity and what makes an outsider#it is also very preoccupied with masculinity#and beowulf does remain unmarried#his lack of wife & children is in fact an important thing thematically#with him an era comes to a close. it's a way of emphasising that the ways of the pagan warriors are a historical and spiritual dead end#but idk idk. it doesn't seem like a very gay text or a gay character#queer text? could be. just no homosexuality in sight really#accepting criticism in the askbox#echo

i’ve been thinking for a while now that belial as antagonists seemed to match up fairly well with bat lol. like belial the dude was a lonely crybaby who started a band, much like jyushi, and the dude hitoya helped out hopped between different activities at the suggestion of friends before deciding what he really wanted to be, also similarly to hitoya.
but then that begs the question: what about kuukou’s???? i wasn’t really sure about the angle myself since kijitani i think his name was, was being raised by his grandmother who was so worried for him as he was out on his own and behaving out of the norm, she was brought to tears. as far as we know, kuukou doesn’t have an adult female presence in his life and shakku sure wasn’t crying because his son left home suddenly lmao
but it hit me the other day, there is one person who did cry because kuukou suddenly started acting strange and left and that’s ichiro!!!!!! so i think the ra➕ team snuck in another focus on kuukou and ichiro’s relationship thru kuukou’s missing person’s case lol
#this is vee speaking#forgive me for putting ichiro’s utter devastation over kuukou on to your feeds lol#pls accept and appreciate the satisfied smile ichiro has bc he’s fighting with kuukou again in that shot as apology LOL#kuukou even set his sights on ichiro and gunned it much like kijitani did after hearing his grandma was crying lol#i genuinely do wonder what was the pay off for kuukou menacingly going ‘wait for me ichiro’ at the end of that first bat track lol#like………….. i feel like we haven’t hit it yet lol#kuukou and ichiro’s first conversation after their breakup was ichiro questioning what he’s supposed to do with his unresolved feelings#and kuukou stunned by the outburst but was that all you wanted from that kuukou lol?????#ichiro forgiving him and acknowledging his strength seemed to mollify kuukou but i still feel like kuukou wasn’t quite satisfied by this#idk lol but i feel like there’s still more cooking in the lab when it comes to ichiro and kuukou’s relationship like it’s only just begun#time will tell lol

🍋🥑for Vice please if its ok? ❤
thank you for the ask!! i'm so so sorry for taking so long to answer these but i was stumped for a while lol
fruit n veg asks from this list!
🍋 What is their kryptonite/ultimate weakness?
His ultimate weakness is that he doesn't think he has any at all. He believes himself invincible, and acts accordingly; charging headfirst into firefights, climbing the highest building with no safety gear, driving recklessly & under the influence, drinking like he has a backup liver ready and waiting.
He's been humbled several times by netrunners hacking his implants, and huge brutes giving him a good wallop, but the lessons never stick and he finds himself in similar situations over and over even as he loads himself up with more and more cybernetics.
🥑 What will they never back down about, even if it makes them seem bad?
He doesn't believe in forgiving and forgetting. He's quite capable of being vindictive and petty, even though he hides it pretty well, and if he or someone he cares for is hurt or threatened in some way, he'll make it his sole mission to make the culprit's life hell. He'll effectively terrorise them into their grave without caring if his actions cause any collateral damage, and push revenge past a point most other people might lose steam or let things go, especially if the one who made the threat or caused the harm in the first place cries mercy or apologises.
He ended up in prison once because of this mean streak, but Night City made it a hundred times worse by rewarding that kind of thinking, reinforcing it until it was fully locked into his psyche.
#oc: vice de'angelo#tbh there's not a lot that i think would make him seem 'bad' especially within the context of it being NIGHT CITY#with Wraiths & Tyger Claws & Scavs it's shoot on sight for him but that's a pretty understandable hill to die on and he wouldn't be alone#also the fact he just waves off the idea of a weakness is so funny to me - like the dude hasn't been killed/almost flatlined like 5 times#by the time the game ends#he's a lil delusional but that's okay LMAO

@beegswaz genuinely i think my favorite tags on any of my work ever. i fucking love when people talk abt my characters like this
#its like blorbo from my show but with fucking minecraft and i love it deeply#for the record both Groda and White Eyes get socialized in the modern world like feral cats#both by the main players but it does happen at different times bc they all encountered Groda first when she held Rana hostage for bait#she'd kinda gone crazy after all those years of isolation lol#did that bc she thought Herobrine was the knight who betrayed her during the time period where people were wanting to overthrow her#(the knight worked for the royal family and was one of Groda's childhood friends. that did not last needless to say)#thankfully at the end of the day all 4 of the main players managed to get out alive though not unharmed with Groda in tow#when there's something trying to kill you every other day in this universe though they honestly cant be too mad about it#it doesnt help that Groda is just Really Stupid sometimes (all the time)#she's literally Peridot from SU in that she seems really intimidating but in hindsight is a massive dork#and also the fact that is the voice i imagine her having its so good#once her ability to use magic is taken away she's literally just like a scared feral street cat. does not know what the FUCK is going on#also rendering her communication with 3/4ths of the players useless since she only knows Galactic and no one alive knows that but Herobrine#(not helping the coincidental similarities to the knight but thats not him) she'll learn commonspeak later tho#ironically later down the line when Groda is spotted by the cult getting her magic back will be a key part in taking down White Eyes#she really does want to change for the better but she needed a LOT of shit kicked into her in order to start actually making the change#that being said when White Eyes eventually gets integrated it IS On Sight#she has had to been quite literally pried of Groda AT LEAST once by the others in order to keep from killing her#but other than that she'll be okay :) she picks up painting eventually#her open wounds are finally able to heal over once released from the influence of the Wither but she's still scarred unfortunately#mentally and physically!#but its only up from here... right?#actually since I talked abt the players first encounter with Groda im gonna reblog that aftermath comic again it still fucks#minecraft au mastertag

Tag drop: Guizhong (don't mind me re-dropping this with the fixed ones, shh)
#tag drop#[ guizhong. ] many things only seem to surface beneath the moon's poignant glow. wherever its light shines; the heart is wont to follow.#[ guizhong: ic. ] wherever her spirit may be among the countless grains of sand and specks of dust between the harbor and the mountains.#[ guizhong: inquiries. ] hmph. she always had a way with words.#[ guizhong: countenance. ] and because they are afraid; they try so hard to become more intelligent. this i understand.#[ guizhong: introspection. ] although she did not live to see the splendid sights of today: she was as much a hero as any other.#[ guizhong: etc. ] it took an elaborate treasure hunt to preserve the commandments that were once the lifeblood of a whole civilization.#[ guizhong: mortals. ] at their full potential; they could be her equal. a human who has as much to teach an adeptus as to learn from them.#[ guizhong: guili plains. ] as guizhong once said: “it takes every blade of grass and every flower to make a homeland.”#[ guizhong: liyue. ] perhaps she will look at the liyue of today and steal a smile when she sees the prosperous land that it has become.#[ guizhong: realm of clouds. ] a voyage to a sanguine sky.#[ guizhong: mechanical arts. ] in one's heart; i knew that she was indeed the superior talent in the mechanical arts.#[ guizhong: glaze lilies. ] they were far more abundant back then. entire fields would appear to the eye as a veritable sea of flowers.#[ guizhong: adepti. ] until the moon set and the sun rose. and only then would the banquet finally come to an end.#[ guizhong: morax. ] whoever it was that revered her so much was very clever indeed.#[ guizhong: morax. ] when our eyes meet; eternity is defined. [ delusionaid. ]#[ guizhong: xiao. ] if darkness comes; colors you with fear; be still and know that i'm with you and i will say your name. [ apocryphis. ]#[ guizhong: marchosius. ] who would dare snub the stove god and his wondrous creations? at the sight of him: we would drop any argument.#[ guizhong: streetward rambler. ] it almost felt like she was back again. sitting right there on the stone stool next to me; chatting away.#[ guizhong: cloud retainer. ] we each had our ideals; and neither one of us would yield to the other.#[ guizhong: osial. ] she would disrupt the silence around them with a hum; as if to sing to the harmony of the water. was this his song?#[ guizhong: sea gazer. ] he was quite the braggart when it came to those collectibles he was so fond of; he always loved to show them off.#[ guizhong: skybracer. ] to who lived by the mountain; he was their savior. in fact; they thought higher of him than the lord of geo.#[ guizhong: ganyu. ] if we planted flowers in the guili plains; do you think that one day we'd be able to recreate the sea of glaze lilies?#[ guizhong: v. descension. ] she descended whose dominion was over dust; and whose reach shrouded the skies for thousands of miles around.#[ guizhong: v. guili assembly. ] it's great to have it back but i want to go back to the world. and start with guili plains.#[ guizhong: v. archon war. ] they fought upon the plains; where black dust choked the heavens and a thousand rocks splintered.#[ guizhong: v. present. ] all wrapped up in a city that has existed for many moons to date. all these things: they are why people chase it.#[ guizhong: meta. ] her manuscripts lie unfinished in her abode. the blank pages give cause for contemplation on what might have been.
